The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real promise on the horizon if you’ve got the patience.
Right now, we’re looking at a gap of a few days before anything worth paddling out for shows up. The first real call is Saturday morning, the 25th of July, at Jaconé. It’s not a classic, but you’ll find clean 5-foot swell from the S with a 10-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the north making the surface tidy. The water is sitting at 72°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is moderate at 444, so there’s a bit of push. It’s a consistent spot, and with the offshore wind, it’ll be a decent morning session, though crowds are possible.
The real standout, the one you’ll want to circle on the calendar, is Monday the 3rd of August. Monday afternoon, Jaconé is going to fire. We’re looking at a clean 4.6-foot swell from the S, with a very long period of 14 seconds – that’s real groundswell energy. The combined energy jumps to 826, which is strong. The wind is light from the ESE, keeping it clean. This is the best on offer, no question. It’s a point break setup, so that long period will wrap in nicely. Tuesday the 4th of August morning is also a strong follow-up, with a moderate offshore breeze and 5-foot swell from the S, but the Monday arvo is the pick.
Further out, on Sunday the 9th of August morning, we’ve got another promising window. Glassy conditions, a light southwesterly, and a 6-foot swell from the ENE. That’s getting up there – over 5-foot so it’s not for beginners, and with an 8-second period, it’s a bit shorter and punchier. The combined energy is strong at 505. It’s a longer-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it looks good for a confident surfer.
Bottom line: the first week is for the patient, but the second week, especially Monday the 3rd, is where you want to be. Stay stoked.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
